Have you ever woke up in your dreams? It is not all or nothing. I can see how uneducated or primitive people would get confused. Sometimes I know I'm dreaming but still think the dream is real.

Using dream control the nightmares are banished. True story. There are still uncomfortable dreams, like of bugs, or alien invasion, or ZOMBIES. I decided to use dream control to let me build fireballs, because I'm tired of running and everyone knows fire hurts zombies.

We spend maybe a 1/4 of our lives ASLEEP. Let's not talk about it, or write about it, or think about it, or make any plans.
Originally posted by @suzianneAnd large chunks of each sleep period are spent dreaming. We have experiences of all sorts while asleep. Typically we awake with no memory of those experiences. Sometimes we know we just went through a lot of experiences but can't quite remember what happened.
Up to a third, if one sleeps 8 hours a night.

I've read the Chuang-tzu piece about dreaming you were a butterfly and then not knowing, when you woke up, if you were the butterfly or you, lol, but, at the end of the day, there isn't much confusion.

The human brain creates reality, in a way. Everything we experience depends on the brain producing that experience, right? And we know it creates dream worlds that easily fool us. Virtual reality.
Even our best comprehension of the real world is full of virtual reality manipulation. Th ...[text shortened]... !
We don't perceive reality, we only perceive the virtual constructs produced by our brains.
